Precious Cargo - Kauri Seedlings Find Sanctuary at Rotoroa Island

One hundred Kauri seedlings - from the
iconic Colin McCahon House, have a new home
on NEXT environmental initiative Rotoroa Island.
The seedlings have been planted on the island to
try and save them from the deadly disease Kauri dieback.

They are particularly treasured because they come
from the trees featured in many of McCahon’s famous
paintings. Newshub filed this report.
